Healthy Turkey Meatballs

My family is crazy for these meatballs and so was instagram after I posted a pic. I found them when I was on the 21 day fix but I've been making them ever since. So healthy but so flavourful. I usually make a double batch to last us the whole week.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground turkey

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp mustard

1 tsp paprika

1 large egg

3/4 cup quick oats

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup of chopped fresh herbs (I've used cilantro or basil depending on the side I've served it with but you can basically mix with any herbs)

Method:

1- Mix all the ingredients except for the turkey together. I use my mini chopper to blend it all together.

2- Add the herb mixture to the turkey and mix until well combined.

3- Shape into 30 1-inch balls.

4- Bake on parchment paper in a 400 degree oven for 16-20 minutes.

Serve with whatever side you desire. I make it with pasta for my kids or spaghetti squash or salad for the grown ups.

Sounds delicious! We love making our meatloaf and meatballs with turkey instead of beef. The spaghetti squash sounds like the perfect side as we try to avoid carbs for dinner during the week. Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
